How to Play
How to play when the
Rule book is in the way
Rip it up, discard
And say that today
I will make my own game
And test it out on
Others who have no idea
And look at me
With a mix of pity
And horror
No, no, that’s not right
You have to behave
Play it this way
There are rules to obey
But these seem arbitrary
And others with more sway
Ignore these rules anyway
Anyway, you guessed it
I’m talking about billionaires

Thoughts
Today’s poem is fairly self explanatory. The picture on the other hand…
One of my students had been extolling the benefits of 3D printers and was trying to convince me to buy one. When I asked him what I could print on it he showed me this. A mega plectrum for when you want to rock out at an extreme level.
Needless to say, I bought a 3d printer.
